Fun fact: 70% of the gin made in the UK is produced in Scotland! With the craft gin scene expanding as rapidly as it is we are pretty spoiled for choice! Read more about the craft gin scene over at Scottish Gin Distilleries and Tastings, and make sure you cast your vote below!

    Isle of Harris Gin
    I was torn between Harris gin and Caorunn (but voted for Harris). 

    I have three fave's in my pantry - Harris gin, Caorunn and Orkney Johnsmas gin. All very different.

    Porter's Gin from Aberdeen has a good reputation and may be worth a taste.

    Isle of Harris Gin
    I am a bit of a Gin lover ! Harris .Gin is one of my favourites , However the design of the bottle is something to behold ! My next favourite is Wild Island Gin  (WIG for short )from Colonsay the Gin has a unique flavour and is well worth tasting again this bottle is unique with colours representing the botanicals in this .Gin . Another one on my lGin list is Lussa Gin from Jura and this is one for the ladies ---well that's my view ! Again it is made with Island botanicals from Jura and it is also infused with rose petals This Gin is made by  three ladies on Ardlussa estate on the North of the Island   A gorgeous Gin ! And is made in very small batches . My next one which is new this year is from the Isle of Tiree and the Gin is called Tyree Gin note the spelling !a little bit of history to this spelling .  It is made with a unique kelp found in the sea off Tiree This is also a great wee Gin. NB Gin is another superb Gin made to a London Dry recipe it is GOOD and is made North Berwick East Lothian . The Botanist was the first Scottish Gin I tasted years ago , I find it quite intense it's all the botanicals ! The distillery near Port Charlotte Islay started Gin  tours this year and you make your own cocktails as part of the tour . I was over in .May this year and did the .Gin tour and the cocktail making was fun ! If you come to Scotland on Holiday try some Gins ! Slainte !

    I love Persie Distillery's zesty citrus gin.  It's from Glenshee and comes in very pretty bottles too!

    Rock rose is my favourite,  but I'm  also partial to a wee  blackwoods or a Glen Wyvis

    Voted for Harris but there are at least three others that tick the box for me.

    I have recently discovered a new gin from Orkney - Seaglass, made by the Deerness Distillery. They also make vodka. 
    I visited the distillery during my trip and they have some great plans for growing their own botanical ingredients on site and having a cosy tasting area. 

    Needless to say, a bottle made it back home with me.

    Tiree Gin is a MUST try! Top of my list now, replaced Harris as my previous favorite.
